The Adult Psychiatric Morbidity Survey 2007 comprised detailed interviews with 7,403 individuals living in private households in England. Doctor-diagnosed epilepsy (and asthma, diabetes, and migraine, chronic conditions for comparison) was ascertained by self-report, and extensive diagnostic and screening interviews were used to assess psychiatric and neurodevelopmental conditions. The estimated lifetime prevalence of epilepsy in the adult (≥ 16 years old) population of England was 1.2% (95% confidence interval [CI] 1.0-1.5). Almost one-third of the people with epilepsy had an International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision (ICD-10) anxiety or depressive disorder (compared with one in six people without epilepsy). Among these, social phobia and agoraphobia, generalized anxiety disorder, depression, and measures of sui...Continue Reading
